Why can't women be happy with being their best possible selves at whatever age they are?

I'm not obsessed with being young again. I'm obsessed with being the healthiest and happiest me at my age now.

Eat healthy, don't knowingly bring pollutants into your body, exercise, get plenty of rest, maintain a healthy sex life, laugh often, alleviate stress, love those around you freely and you can expect to be the best possible you at any age.

I dont think anyone can name any woman who looks better at 35 than she did at 25. Unless she was a fat 25 and lost all the weight by 35 maybe. For the most part, we ALL lose our looks as we get older.

I look better now than I did when I was 25. And when I was 25 I looked better than when I was 21, than when I was 16, etc. I have driver's license photo ID proof. In fact I look younger and younger with each iteration.

And I didn't lose a bunch of weight... in fact I'm about the same weight the whole entire time. I think I just learned how to put on makeup and style hair better, and my skin was essentially the same this entire time too (I have never had great skin... just oily teenager skin). When I was 15-21 my face was a bit fatter from whatever brown fat or baby fat I had, so my nose was also a bit more broad (though body = same weight). I think my eyes were also more puffy and slanty when I was younger and now they are more deep set / round. I am pretty sure my boobs got bigger too. I'm sure I will start looking like crap by 45 though. But by that time I won't care.

The only thing I don't like is my lower belly is slightly more poochy but that's really because I've had major surgery that weakened the abdominal muscle... not because of age...

I'm 36 and I think I look my age (at least I don't think I look THAT much older). I'm not stressed out about aging. I try to look my best but I'm not going to let it consume me. Sunscreen, lotion and that's about it.

as I turn 55 this year, I would love to look like my 35 year old self again![ or my 45 year old self!] There is most difinitely the wear and tear of life visible. However, my husband thinks I look fantastic. Since he's the only man that matters, I'm good with that! I take care of myself the best I can and that's all I can do. Plastic surgery is out for me, as I would like to look the best I can natually,and, I would like to still look like MYSELF, only older! At this point, I am more concerned about health and what is happening INSIDE than the looks on the outside. Fortunately, when you have a healthy lifestyle, it does help you to stay looking fairly good. My kids are also proud of me and that is priceless. It was very impressive to my 14 year old son one day when I did more pull ups than a friend of his!
